ci: move swift-packages matrix to self-hosted runner (Grogu) (#181)

* ci(actions): move swift-packages matrix to self-hosted runner (Grogu)

The github-hosted macos-15 pool was the rate-limiting step for v0.1: 13
matrix jobs + 1 app-build job all needed macOS slots, GitHub scheduled
them 1-3 at a time, and total wall-clock was ~1-2h per run versus actual
work of <10m. Grogu is registered with labels [self-hosted, macOS, ARM64,
jarvis] and _work/ symlinked to HD-2 (1.3 TB) for headroom.

Scope:
- swift-packages matrix only — app-build stays on macos-15 for now.
- `if:` clause blocks fork PRs from triggering self-hosted jobs (push,
  workflow_dispatch, and same-repo PRs only).
- Xcode select switches from `sudo xcode-select -s` to a per-process
  DEVELOPER_DIR env so the runner doesn't need passwordless sudo. The
  fallback chain now also accepts /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
  so Grogu's local Xcode 26.5 is picked up.

Closes #180

* ci(actions): fix self-hosted runner env quirks for keychain + cache

Three SPM failures on PR #181's first self-hosted CI run, all
environment-specific:

- SPM Keychain: errSecInteractionNotAllowed (-25308). The LaunchAgent
  has no UI session and the login keychain is locked.
- SPM Voice + SPM Harness: github-hosted actions/cache@v4 entries with
  absolute paths (/Users/runner/work/...) baked into
  .build/artifacts/onnxruntime.xcframework. Cache key only contained
  runner.os (= macOS for both environments), so self-hosted hit the
  poisoned github-hosted cache.

Fixes:

- Restrict actions/cache@v4 to runner.environment == 'github-hosted'.
  Self-hosted's _work/ on HD-2 persists between jobs naturally, so the
  cache action is unnecessary there and prevents path-baked cache
  poisoning between environments.

- Add a "Unlock runner keychain" step gated to runner.environment ==
  'self-hosted'. Unlocks a pre-created jarvis-runner.keychain-db with
  password from the repo secret JARVIS_RUNNER_KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD and
  prepends it to the user search list so SecItemAdd writes there.

Document both in CLAUDE.md "Self-hosted CI runner".

Refs #180

* ci: retrigger after JARVIS_RUNNER_KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD secret fix

Previous run failed all 13 SPM jobs with 'passphrase you entered is not
correct' because the secret value was set to literal '-' (gh secret set
parsed '--body -' as the body value, not as 'read from stdin'). Secret
now contains the correct password. This empty commit triggers a fresh
CI run that will resolve the corrected secret.

Refs #180

* ci(actions): drop set-keychain-settings from unlock step

The Security framework requires user interaction for set-keychain-settings
even when the keychain is unlocked, and the LaunchAgent on Grogu has no
UI. The settings (no-timeout, no-lock-on-sleep) are persistent and were
applied once at keychain-creation time; only the unlock step needs to
run every job.

Refs #180

* ci(actions): also set default-keychain so SecItemAdd targets jarvis-runner

SecItemAdd on the legacy file-based macOS keychain writes to the user's
DEFAULT keychain, not the first writable keychain in the search list.
Changing list-keychains alone left SecItemAdd targeting the locked
login.keychain-db, still returning errSecInteractionNotAllowed (-25308).

Also set the user's default keychain to jarvis-runner.keychain-db in the
unlock step. This is persistent for the runner user (james.maes), so
SecItemAdd from interactive use will also go there — documented as a
side effect in CLAUDE.md with the undo command.

 Eval harness (Anthropic + local-model eval matrix; corpus in `.planning/evals/`) — pinned to `qwen2.5-coder:32b` for the local-model lane.
 
+### Self-hosted CI runner (Grogu)
+
+`swift-packages` matrix in `.github/workflows/ci.yml` runs on a self-hosted macOS runner (`Grogu-jarvis`, labels `[self-hosted, macOS, ARM64, jarvis]`) rather than the github-hosted `macos-15` pool — the public pool was the v0.1 rate-limiter (1–2h queues for 13-job matrix). See #180.
+
+- **Where it lives:** `~/actions-runner-jarvis/` on Grogu. `_work/` symlinked to `/Volumes/HD-2/jarvis-runner-work/` (1.3 TB) to keep boot-disk pressure off.
+- **Service:** launchd LaunchAgent `actions.runner.KofTwentyTwo-Jarvis.Grogu-jarvis` (`~/Library/LaunchAgents/`). Manage with `cd ~/actions-runner-jarvis && ./svc.sh {status,start,stop}`. Only runs while user is logged in.
+- **Security gate:** the job's `if:` clause blocks fork PRs from triggering it — push, workflow_dispatch, and same-repo PRs only. Belt-and-suspenders: enable "Require approval for all outside collaborators" under Settings → Actions → General.
+- **Still on github-hosted `macos-15`:** `app-build` (the xcodebuild app target) and the `real-hardware` opt-in lane. Move opportunistically once the swift-packages path is proven.
+- **Xcode selection:** uses `DEVELOPER_DIR` env (per-process), tries `Xcode_26.3.app` → `Xcode_26.app` → `Xcode.app` in order. Grogu currently has Xcode 26.5 at the bare path.
+- **Cache:** the `actions/cache@v4` step is gated to `runner.environment == 'github-hosted'`. Self-hosted relies on the persistent `_work/` dir on HD-2 (and SwiftPM's natural `.build/` reuse) instead. Github-hosted caches bake absolute `/Users/runner/...` paths into `.build/artifacts/onnxruntime.xcframework` and other XCFrameworks, which Grogu cannot resolve — restricting the cache action keeps these caches strictly per-environment.
+- **Runner keychain** (`~/Library/Keychains/jarvis-runner.keychain-db`): created once on Grogu with password `grogu-jarvis-ci` (also stored as repo secret `JARVIS_RUNNER_KEYCHAIN_PASSWORD`). The LaunchAgent has no UI session, so `SecItemAdd` against a locked login keychain returns `errSecInteractionNotAllowed (-25308)`. CI unlocks `jarvis-runner.keychain-db`, prepends it to the user search list, AND sets it as the user's default keychain before `swift test`. The default-keychain step is necessary because on the legacy file-based macOS keychain, `SecItemAdd` writes to the user's *default* keychain (not the first writable in the search list). **Side effects on interactive use:** (1) `jarvis-runner.keychain-db` sits first in your user search list, and (2) it is also your default keychain — so `SecItemAdd` calls *without* an explicit keychain target write there instead of `login.keychain-db`. Apps that target login keychain explicitly (most do) are unaffected. To undo: `security default-keychain -d user -s ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db && security list-keychains -d user -s ~/Library/Keychains/login.keychain-db`.
+- **When Grogu reboots or sleeps**, the LaunchAgent restarts on login but jobs queued during downtime will sit waiting. For long offline windows, push to a branch other than develop or temporarily revert `runs-on:` to `macos-15`.

-### CI status
+**Run `25808780457`** on `16bed160` is in progress (since 15:24Z). Last poll snapshot:
 
-Last CI run (on `f6637ec3`, post-CI-fix) is **in progress** at the time of writing. The fixes target two known bugs:
+| Status | Job |
+|--------|-----|
+| ✅ | Boundary gates |
+| ✅ | Webview (pnpm test + build) |
+| ✅ | SPM Harness, Shell, Memory, Vision |
+| ⏳ | App target (xcodebuild) |
+| ⏳ | SPM DevOverlay, Config, MCP, Voice, Bus, Replay, Keychain, AgentCore, Logging (9 jobs) |
 
-1. **Webview typecheck order** — `pnpm -r build` now runs before `pnpm -r typecheck` so `@jarvis/bus` emits `dist/index.d.ts` before TypeScript reads it.
-2. **SPM tests need the webview HUD bundle** — `swift-packages` matrix now depends on `webview` job and downloads the new `webview-resources` artifact to `App/Resources/webview/` so `BusTests` + downstream WKWebView-mounting tests find a real bundle.
+The macOS-15 runner pool is heavily backlogged today — the prior run on `53b8fb8f` (#171) timed out at 45 min mid-matrix. Background bash poll `b3w2two8p` is watching with a 60-min cap. When CI hits a terminal state:
 
-**Verify after lunch:** `gh run list --branch develop --limit 4`. If still failing, the residual issues are likely macOS-15 runner specifics (Xcode toolchain mismatch, missing brew formulas) — fix in a follow-up.
+- **Green** → `publish-tag` job creates the first `v0.1.0-dev.<run_number>` pre-release tag + a GitHub Release. That's the moment to verify with `gh release list`.
+- **Red** → read failure log via `gh run view <ID> --log-failed`; PR #170 ensures we see the actual error (not just `** BUILD FAILED **`).
 
-### Local build
+**What was wrong before, and is fixed:**
 
-`bash scripts/check-app-builds.sh` passes against `f6637ec3` on your machine (verified mid-session).
+1. **Webview typecheck couldn't find `@jarvis/bus`** (#161 + #164) — build now precedes typecheck.
+2. **SPM matrix package `VoiceLog` doesn't exist** (#167) — dropped from matrix.
+3. **Xcode 16 can't parse `swift-tools-version:6.2`** (#167) — selected Xcode 26.3.
+4. **Bus + AgentCore + Harness + MCP couldn't compile** (#167 + #168) — Swift 6.2 toolchain plus aligning `Harness/Adapters/{ReplayMCPAdapter,ReplayRunner}` to `import CSQLiteVec` (matching Replay's 2026-05-11 migration).
+5. **Voice cold-start failure** (#168 + #171) — `AVSpeechSynthesizer` warm-up in `setUp` + timing budgets widened for I3 (250→500ms) and V4 (4→3 emission floor).
+6. **App target `Found unhandled resource at packages/Harness/Corpora`** (#169) — moved Corpora into `Sources/Harness/` so the resource path is `Corpora` instead of `../../Corpora`.
+7. **App target `pnpm not found on PATH`** (#173) — restored Setup pnpm + Setup Node.js to app-build job (Xcode build-phase script needs pnpm).
+8. **Pre-existing strict-undefined errors in HUD source** — 29 of 30 dissolved after build-before-typecheck order; the 30th (`SegmentedRing.tsx:92`) fixed with a non-null assertion (#165). Typecheck now blocking again (#166).

+## Other things resolved this session
+
+### CircleCI integration removed from Jarvis only
+
+The repo had a classic **webhook** to `https://circleci.com/hooks/github` (not the modern GitHub App). Deleted via `gh api -X DELETE /repos/.../hooks/612629967`. Result: no more red ✗ "CircleCI Pipeline: No configuration was found" on new PRs; CircleCI integration on the user's other repos is unaffected.
+
+### CodeQL default setup enabled
+
+Earlier today CodeQL was a custom workflow under `.github/workflows/codeql.yml`. Default setup was enabled via the repo settings API (`gh api -X PATCH /repos/.../code-scanning/default-setup -f state=configured -f query_suite=default`), then the custom workflow was removed in #163. Default setup covers Swift + JS/TS + Actions + Python with the `default` query suite; can be upgraded to `security-extended` later via the same API endpoint.
+
+### Branch protection on develop
+
+`gh api -X PUT /repos/.../branches/develop/protection` set:
+- ✅ No force-push
+- ✅ No deletion
+- ✅ PR required (0 approvers — solo-dev compatible)
+- 🔓 `enforce_admins: false` so you can still bypass in emergencies
+- 🔓 No required status checks yet (CI is still stabilizing — revisit after publish-tag fires)
+
+### Dependabot security alerts
+
+Both moderate alerts (Vite path traversal, esbuild dev-server) should auto-close on Dependabot's next scan now that:
+- `pnpm.overrides` pins `vite >= 8.0.12` (chain root vulnerable was 5.4.21)
+- `esbuild` dropped from the tree entirely (vite 8 demoted it to optional peer)
+- `vitest` bumped 2→3 in root + bus workspaces (required for vite-8 SSR transform)
+
+Verify: Settings → Code security and analysis → Dependabot alerts (expected within ~1 hour of `#159`/`#160` merges).

-## Three loose ends (none blocking)
-
-### 1. CircleCI GitHub App integration
-
-The CircleCI app is still wired at the repo level, but there's no `.circleci/config.yml` on `develop` (the stale `circleci-project-setup` branch was deleted today). Result: every PR shows a red ✗ "CircleCI Pipeline" status check with `No configuration was found in your project`.
-
-**Fix:** un-wire at https://github.com/settings/installations (manual web step — can't automate via `gh`). With Lane I's GH Actions now canonical, CircleCI is redundant.
-
-### 2. Dependabot security alerts
-
-The 2 moderate alerts (Vite path traversal + esbuild dev-server) should auto-close on the next Dependabot scan now that #159 + #160 landed (`vite@8.0.10` pinned via `pnpm.overrides`, `esbuild` dropped from the tree).

-
-### 3. CI workflow may still need polish
-
-PR #161 fixes the two known bugs but CI has only been validated against the workflow definitions themselves — actual end-to-end pass-on-develop is in flight. If anything else surfaces:
-- Cache misses → tune the cache key in `actions/cache@v4` block.
-- macOS runner Xcode version mismatch → adjust `sudo xcode-select` fallback path.
-- Real-hardware lane only runs on self-hosted runners (user doesn't have one yet) — gated correctly behind `workflow_dispatch.run_real_hardware=true`.
+All agent worktrees from yesterday's overnight fan-out + today's CI-doctor sessions removed via `git worktree remove --force` + `git worktree prune`. Single canonical clone.

+**Worked — worktree-isolated background agents.** 10 v0.1 lanes ran in parallel. Each agent pushed its own branch + opened a draft PR. Composes well.

+**Worked — H' "isolated tmp worktree per Dependabot PR".** Tested 5 dep PRs without polluting any other state. Per-PR worktrees are the right pattern for dep validation.
 
-**Worked:** Squash-merging with explicit `Closes #N` in the squash subject (or PR body) for auto-closure. The 22 issues I batch-closed today only need that because I'd used bare `(#N)` references in the subjects, not `Closes #N` keywords.
+**Worked — squash-merging with `Closes #N` keywords in the PR body (not just the subject).** GitHub auto-closes issues only on the keywords; bare hash references don't trigger it. Today's batch-close had to be manual because subjects used `(#N)` not `Closes #N`.
 
-**Did NOT work:** Letting subagents run arbitrary `git` commands. Multiple lanes (Lane F, Lane G in particular) ended up mutating the main repo's HEAD because the agent ran `git checkout` / `git stash` operations from the main repo path rather than its worktree path. **For next session:** brief subagents with `**NEVER cd outside your assigned worktree**` as a hard rule.
+**Worked — CI Doctor agents that iterate.** PRs #167, #168, #169, #171, #173 came from agents that diagnosed a failure, made a focused fix, opened a PR, watched its CI, then opened the next fix when the previous one revealed a new layer. The key is the agent stays narrow per-PR.
+
+**Worked — background bash poll loops for long-running CI.** Subagents bail out after 5-15 min of "still queued" because they hit context budget. A bash `while true; do gh run view ...; sleep 60; done` survives the wait without burning agent compute.
+
+**Did NOT work — letting subagents run arbitrary `git` commands.** Multiple lanes (Lane F, Lane G, some CI fix doctors) ended up mutating the MAIN repo's HEAD because the agent ran `git checkout` / `git stash` from the main repo path rather than its worktree. **For next session:** brief subagents with `NEVER cd outside your assigned worktree` as a hard rule, repeated in the prompt.
+
+**Did NOT work — relying on subagents to "watch and wait" for slow async signals.** They quit after a few polls and the harness re-emits their final notification over and over (looks like progress, isn't). Use bash background polls for monitoring.
